Dont freak out yet.
Huh. Thats kinda strage that it wont even boot into recovery, Becasue when i thought i bricked my droid incredible, I had to go into the recovery menu tell it to mount my phone as a disk drive, After that i had to put the OS back on my phone though a zip file,(Htc sense is my OS) And do a factory reset. So the chances of your phone being bricked are very slim its difficult to birck an android phone but i would try to find a method that will allow you to hook your phone up to your computer so then you could just find your OS as a zip and install it on your phone.
how
no way to find it computer doesnt see my phone nor will the phone do anything wont boot in recovery or download mode or boot period for that matter
It would REALLLLLLLY help if you used punctuation. Commas, periods, and capital letters really help people to read your garbled mess.

I tried to upgrade my brothers samsung galaxy gio with a leaked version of it's 2.3.4 upgrade via "Odin".It kinda got stuck in the process and following the guide for it I removed the battery (it said to remove the battery if it stuck at a process for more than 10 minutes). After that when I tried to power it up it got stuck with an image of a phone and a pc connected with dots and a caution mark in between. For extra info recovery mode doesn't open but the download mode does. And I have tried to upgrade it a few times but gets stuck at the process named "ididb download"or something like that.
Is the phone bricked?????? Plz reply quick.
Hi,
Don't worry: as long as you can turn the phone on you should be OK, it's only a soft brick . Have you tried going in download mode again, and reflashed another ROM or even the one you attempted? Got evering right? OPS? Evering you must tick? Re-read the whole tutorial cause generally people mess up because they don't pay enough attention ^^
P.S. At least a million threads exist for this, you obviously haven't looked far before posting..
I have spent the past 3 hours scouring over these forums before doing a post and I could find lots of great information if I could just get past the perpetual loop and access either the Recovery or Download Modes of my phone.
It is a Telus Samsung Galaxy Fascinate [SGH-T989D] and I have been tinkering with it for that past 24 hours to get it rooted and play with some of the ROMs out there.
I have gotten past the 3e Recovery Issues, resolved a Soft Brick and tested out 3 ROMs but now I am completely stuck and I think it is entirely my own fault but now I need some assistance in getting out of it.
This morning I threw on ICS_NBv9.2 and as it warned it went into a bit of a panic mode and has hit a perpetual Boot Loop. Now every post I have read says go into Download Mode and Odin back to Stock...I can't...it comes up with the Battery Image twice and then starts the boot up cycle all over again. The other option is to Flash the ROM again...problem is it continuously cycles through the Boot and never goes anywhere.
I have tried multiple Cables, reinstalled the USB Drivers, tried on 4 different Computers (2 Linux and 2 Windows) and well lets just say I am at the end of my rope.
Is there any known way to stop this kernel panic and let me get back to stock and put a functional ROM on the phone.
Thanks in Advance.
I may be able to help you...
Here are some solutions I can think of from the top of my head.
Try to see if your phone will connect to samsung kies on your computer via USB, there should be a way to restore it from there.
If you can't do this, then the next step would be to try and enter CWM Recovery mode (you should have this installed already, just look online how to enter into recovery mode). Next, mount your phone using recovery and put a stable rom (.zip) onto your phone. Factory reset, and wipe your phone, then flash the rom.
If you can't enter CWM Recovery, then the next step I can think of is to find a stable rom and flash it through ODIN.
If this isn't working either, then you just made yourself a very stylish paper weight! congrats.
There may stil be hope that if you call your carrier and tell them a sob story like, "my phone restarted on it's own and now it won't work properly." - and answer no if they ask you if you flashed, or downloaded 3rd party apps - then they might send you a free replacement.
Next time you want to flash your phone, remember... MAKE A BACKUP (nandroid) FIRST. That way if anything goes wrong, you can just restore it back the way it was.
Here is a site that may help you as well for rooting and making a backup for the t-989D (samsung galaxy s2 x - telus):

Good luck,

Try This..
Remove Data Cable from Phone
Remove battery and re insert after 3-5 secs
now try to enter Downloading mode..
then insert data cable. and flash stock FW.
it should work..
The Paper Weight Theory
Thanks Input_Method and ranjan.
Unfortunately the reboot takes effect and cycles through before Kies, ODIN or anything else can take hold of the device.
I have tried the cable trick, Recovery Mode is a no go and it would appear to be an issue with CWM mismatch which is causing the reboot.
Hoping that a local "phone hacker" can help me out with a JTAG reboot this weekend but I am not overly optimistic.
Thanks again.
Hey there, apologies in advance if I have submitted this thread in the wrong section. I really looked as hard as I could before posting.
Well I rooted my phone, got super user on there, then got clockworkmod red, and then attempted to put the ice cream sandwich mod on my phone, thats where everything went sour. Phone would not go past screen that says samsung. I tried a few times to get it to go past that point, and just nothing. I then attempted to use odin to have my phone put back, but now I cannot even get the phone to open up clockworkmod.
To put it very simply. The only thing I have access to now is the download option (holding both volume up and down while inserting the usb cable from the computer) I have searched the internet high and low for something to run through odin to put my phone back to the way it was. I keep coming up with dead links and long dead downloads. I was able to use the gtg ultimate unbrick, but all that managed to accomplish was to have my phone say at&t instead of rogers.
Im still at the screen that says samsung, with no access to a recovery menu at this point. I only have the download option.
Can anyone help me salvage my phone?
edit: I appear to have been able to reput clockworkmod back on the phone with odin. Thats all I have been able to do.
When flashing any ics Rom/port from.gingerbread/red recovery you will need to double flash...I'm seeing a lot of people.with bricks lately and I think the problem is they are not reading enough before flashing ics...
So you have cwm correct? Boot into cwm by holding volume up down and power button. If you have no roms hen go to mounts and storage and mount USB then plug it into the pc and copy over the Rom...if its gingerbread Rom.just one flash...if its ics then flash, you will get stuck on Samsung screen so boot back into cwm...you will either boot into a blue or some distorted rainbowy cwm...just reflash he Rom
If you can't do that...then idk what else to do as I don't know much about rogers phones and what is and isn't compatible with them...but u would suggest qksters heimdal one click back to stock uclb3...its always worked for me...but not sure if it will work with rogers...

Use this link/program from download mode to get to stock 2.3.6.
Wait, if you can get to download mode, you can reflash JScott's option C from here, then get into CWM red, flash the ICS of your choice, reboot into CWM blue (press and hold vol up/vol dn/power 5 seconds when stuck at sammy screen), wipe data/cache/dalvik, reboot and you should have ICS.
I understand that some people will never get "it", but reading the entire post for flashing/modding firmware is a MUST.
Ok guys, new to the forums but this problem has had me fully occupied for the last 6 hours and I feel like I have tried everything. I had cm9 alpha 12, and went to flash TrickDroid v5.0, something happened and I'm currently stuck in some wierd bootloop/soft brick. I had access to CWM but my SD card wouldn't mount and my adb push attempts didn't do anything, for reasons I don't know why. My phone would start up into the wierd trickdroid bootup and last for like 30 minutes. I tried the solution of another thread on how to fix a bootloop/ softbrick, but now I dont have any CWM access and I can only access the bootloader or the endless bootup screen. I tried using the all in one tool to flash the CWM again but it just restarts it and puts it back into the bootup, and when i restart to go to bootloader to acess the recovery, it goes back to bootup. Every solution I try makes my problem worse, and to top it off I cant turn my phone off and keep it off because it will just start back up. Thanks.
Edit: Problem fixed. Downloaded the original all in 1 tool for htc one s, plugged phone into comp went to fastboot and with the tool flashed the phones stock recovery. I reset to factory defaults and cleared storage with it from the bootloader. After that, I flashed clockwork mod recovery again and my SD card was able to be mounted and accepted files from my adb push, and I reflashed cyanogenmod. Wuzzah!

lol, meant to "quote" not "thanks".
Can you fastboot a new recovery?
Did you do a full wipe coming from CM9 to TrickDroid
Well I can't access the phone from usb on my computer (still takes charge though), so I don't think I can flash a recovery thru fastboot (I'm not too experienced though). From cm9, I wiped all and flashed trickdroid + tweak set, then it just stat their at home screen. CMW being lost occurred later.
Im in the same situation rght now. I have trickdroid and I went into my tweaks to set them back to their original setup...so removing all of the options I chose before when I used the tweaks for the first time. When I rebooted my phone it just hangs on the HTC screen. I can get into recovery and I tried reinstalling trickdroid but its still getting stuck. Not sure what to do at this point. I don't think I can put a recovery file on this since I can't connect it to my computer.
Hopefully someone can help us.
But the thing is I can't access recovery. I try to flash it again with the all in 1 tool and it won't work. It says it went through, but accessing it doesn't work.
If its recognised by USB when plugged in computer just run an ruu that's my solution all The time lol
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Ok i somehow managed to get TWR on my phone, but still unable to mount the SD. How do I run the RUU? I downloaded it, but the instructions are flawed I think
Connect with USB to.computer go into faatboot USB then run ruu on pc
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
Well I thought the RUU was going to work, but it just stops at the HTC and gives me an error saying I can't. What now?
Ok currently, I relocked my bootloader in an attempt to do the RUU, but I get a 155 Unknown Error up doing such, using the TMOUS 1.53 ruu... other places I have seen say something about returning to the stock img etc, but I'm quite stuck. Any advice appreciated
htc one s stuck in bootloop almost unresponsive
hey guys, got a brain teaser for you.
i have a tmobile htc one s, unlocked, rooted using all in one htc tool, been at it for two days now. im stuck on the boot screen showing its unlocked, i used to be able to get into the boot loader screen but now it seems ive dead ended. ill hold any combination of power and vol up/down, the keys flash for 10 sec and the screen flashes once, i let go and it reboots, keeps that htc screen, after 20-30 sec goes black. my pc doings like it detects a device but i cant locate it. ive used adb and the htc all in one unlock tool trying to get any kind of os to launch.
Shortly before this i was able to go into the boot loader, clear and master reset the files and cache, and search for the rom zip, thus never allowing me to flash. on a journey to place this in the phone through various combinations of the all in one, adb push, and everything else i found on youtube, countless forum posts, i seem to be in a deeper hole now.
I ultimately want to end with a cm10 nightly on my tmo htc one s. I have never done this to a phone without a sd card. i come to this community humbly seeking any and all advice. thank you.
From what i've been hearing- I should ditch my triumph and maybe get a samsung gallaxy2 prepaid. Until i have $ for that i thought I'd try the cygen mod.
My phone was already rooted. I tried to put on clockwork as instructed on various forums.when igot to the part about swpping the recovery image when i tried to boot into cw ( pressing power vlume up and down) all it does is vibrate with a black screen. I have to take battery out to stop it.
Then i realized I already had clockwork on the phone i forgot i had downloaded ROM manager( with the derbyhat clockwork orange eye logo) long ago.
When i plug the phone back up to computer i still get the mobile drive so is it still in download mode?
I tried : making sure my battery is charged
re-downloading various recovery images and swapping
taking the .img off the file before unplugging
making sure there no space before the word recovery
When i try and ress power and volume down the phone does nothing
when i press just power it just vibrates continuous black screen
when i press all buttons at once it just vibrates continuous
how do I get my phone back the way it was before i tried this or make this clockwork work? I've been searching on the net all day and can't really find a clear straight answer. I found some leads but the links were old and broken. I feel like a cat chasing my tail!
Also someone recommended reformatting the mobile drive so i did that and now there is nothing in that file except the new recovery img i tried to put there. No boot img or eetc. didi I make things worse??
I really need help now cuz I have no phone that works- I am constantly worried my kid might need to call me from camp and can't reach me!!
If you have a fix could you please explain it simply so a newbie or child could understand? i am not a developer or anything. Just a girl try ing to get her phone back working.
Thanx in advance !:crying:
Problem Solved
I ended up reformatting my mobile drive since i had also accidentally wiped out all the files. Then i found a link for all the files that were missing on another forum and i reinstalled everything. then i tried to boot my phone. it still did not work so i plugged the phone into a wall charger and then tried to power on and it worked.( the battery was dead). my phone was back to normal intact! :victory:
Same problem
My phone has the same problem as yours .I have been trying fo a week on multiple forums to find an answer with no success. I see someone replied to you about reformatting ,but as far as I know that would require the phone to function well enough to get into a mode of some kind . Please if you don't mind would you drop me an email ([email protected]) if you come up with a solution . It is making me crazy, LOL ..If I find a fix for this I will contact you here or you can send me contact info and I will email you : Thanks ,my name is Paul

Well help hath arrived if you don't have it fixed already. I know XDA doesn't like it when we link to another site, but the Triumph guys normally hang out here: http://androidforums.com/triumph-all-things-root/ It's just more convenient for us. Honestly we were thinking about XDA due to XDA's excellent uptime (XDA is great, by the way) but AndroidForums stopped crashing years back so we stayed. Nothing against this site (I use both about equally) but we can continue the discussion here. Also, your fix lies here and don't read most of the first posts. The actual fix was from g60, and he kept a back up of Austrie's old files on his new server. The original link went dead, but you can find what you want here.
